The tailored jacket.

I've been obsessed with the timelessness and refinement of Yves Saint Laurent's designs ever since I became conscious of fashion and couture (in the fourth grade!). This kind of tailored jacket, with its strong shoulder line that ascends into the neck, is such a simple piece that endows the wearer with both power and femininity. Of course, I can't always find or afford a Yves Saint Laurent jacket such as the one Naomi Campbell is wearing, but whenever I search for a perfect suit jacket or a blazer, I always think of YSL.

The Strutting Peacock:

Lately, I’ve been really inspired by many different personal style blogs out there. It really is such a great way to express who you are, what you love, and what you find incredible in fashion.
As for me, I barely know where to start but I know that my passions involve style, art, travel and photography. This will mainly be a blog about fashion & style, but of course art, history, the great places of this world, and even a little bit of religion and philosophy will be tied into what I love most. I also hope to go beyond the “materialistic” aspect of fashion & style with this blog but of course, great attention will be paid to beautiful material objects and aesthetics too (just for pleasure!)

As the great Yves Saint Laurent says:
"Dressing is a way of life"
